American’s TWA, Reno and AirCal Retro Heritage Liveries

Back in 2013, the newly merged American used their internal Arrivals newsletter to put the new AA livery to a vote. As we all know, the modified livery (that had already been painted on 200 legacy AA aircraft) ultimately won support and continues to be painted on newly acquired and legacy US and AA aircraft today. That Arrivals newsletter also announced the introduction of heritage liveries at American:

Even as we look to the future, we want to embrace our history because we are proud of it. One way we will do that is through heritage liveries. US Airways has several aircraft in predecessor company liveries today, such as the PSA livery (complete with smile). We will continue that tradition at American, including introducing a TWA aircraft in the future and keeping a US Airways livery aircraft. That also means we will keep a heritage American livery in the fleet. So, regardless of the result of this vote, the AA and eagle will remain represented.

Last September, American revealed their first heritage jet with American branding and then this September, CIO (that’s Integration, not Information) Beverly Goulet presented a slide with the next three liveries – AirCal, Reno Air, and TWA. According to this thread (and credit for the picture below to winterlight), we should start to see some of these this fall. Which retro livery are you most looking forward to?

Adam is the proud founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and award booking site Juicy Miles. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites.
His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked!
Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.
